1-530843-8

Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1-530843-8 is a Standard Edge II series card edge connector designed for dual-sided board insertion. It features 60 positions with a female contact configuration and a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch spacing. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with a gold plating finish to ensure reliable signal transmission. It is constructed with a black polyester, glass-reinforced insulator and supports through-hole solder termination. The unit accommodates card thicknesses ranging from 0.054 inches to 0.070 inches (1.37mm to 1.78mm). Operating temperatures range from -55°C to 85°C, and it holds MSL level 1 classification.

Feature Summary

• Dual-sided female contact design for secure board retention
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts for corrosion resistance
• Through-hole solder termination for PCB mounting
• Glass-reinforced polyester insulation for structural stability

Applications

• Multibus I interface connections
• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• General-purpose electronic module mounting

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and orientation requirements against the target PCB layout before ordering. Confirm that the mating card thickness falls within the specified mechanical tolerance range of 1.37mm to 1.78mm. Ensure compatibility with standard through-hole assembly processes. Check for any recent product change notices or compliance updates regarding RoHS and REACH regulations prior to final procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, dual-sided connection is required for standard edge cards. The 0.100-inch pitch allows for moderate trace density on the mating board. Consider the through-hole mounting style if surface-mount alternatives are unsuitable for the mechanical stress environment. Verify that the gold plating meets the necessary conductivity and wear resistance standards for the intended application lifecycle.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the Standard Edge II family, which provides robust interconnection solutions for various industrial and commercial applications. The 530843 series is widely recognized for its reliability in demanding environments. The 1-530843-8 variant specifically addresses the need for higher pin counts compared to lower-position counterparts in the same series, facilitating complex signal routing in compact form factors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include other position variants such as 5530843-1 or 1-5530843-8, provided the pin count matches the design requirement. Cross-brand replacements must strictly adhere to the 0.100-inch pitch, dual-sided female configuration, and through-hole termination specifications to maintain mechanical and electrical compatibility.
